The Airbnb I stayed in had donkey milk shampoo which I of course had to try. I liked it, made my hair feel very soft.  I had some nice strolls around the neighborhood, saw more beautiful houses and trees and a group of preschoolers out on a walk. Before I left Sherbrooke I went to…

I did my final farm chores and milking of the goats this morning. I’m sad to leave the farm, I’ve really enjoyed my time here and felt I was getting into a good rhythm. I would definitely love to come back, especially when the new baby goats come in February or March, maybe I can…

After morning chores and breakfast, Nina and I went down to the river to check on her sheepskins, which looked really good. Then we headed over to Max’s place and I got a tour of his amazing little studio home. He’s built it by himself all from salvaged wood and other items. The house is…

I promise I won’t keep putting a whole bunch of sunrise pictures in my posts, today because they were deer out in the field when I woke up. I also took a selfie with the sunrise reflected in the window behind me.  Brittany and Noé went for a horseback ride last night and found a…

Brittany‘s tiny house is coming along really well. They’ve put wood slats on the ceiling of the bedroom and added the pole for the spiral staircase that leads up to the bedroom. Part of the log that they used had really cool mushrooms on it and they’ve left them incorporated in. Now they’re busy putting…

I’m enjoying the pattern and pace of my work days on the farm. Up around 6 to journal and sometimes meditate, farm chores and milking from 7-9, a relaxed breakfast often with others, some time to myself then a couple of hours in the fromagerie or helping out elsewhere on the farm. Next is lunch,…

I have been staying in the loft above the Fromagerie the last few days. There was supposed to be a young man from Germany coming to stay in the house for the next six months as a paid guest. He was going to volunteer on another farm nearby that didn’t have a spare bedroom. When…

Woke up to a foggy morning, giving the farm a mystical look. Later in the day, some of the chickens were dispatched, I wasn’t part of the group who who did that. Max, who arrived the other day, was in charge of the butchering. He also used some of the clay on the property to…

I had my first visit to a Tim Hortons today, the Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts of Canada. On my way there I passed a sculpture made out of painted chairs. I got a latte (it was fine, nothing to write home about) and a sausage egg croissant, which was good, and I ogled all of the sweets…

The day started with a gorgeous sunrise, I’m so glad I was up to witness it.  I borrowed Nina’s car to venture into Sherbrooke. It was pouring again so a good day to check out some of the museums in town. My first stop was the musée des beaux-arts (fine art museum). Outside was a…
